Intel Corporation (INTC) received a $5 billion investment from NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) to collaboratively enhance AI infrastructure, leveraging NVIDIA’s AI capabilities and Intel’s CPU technology. This investment highlights both companies’ intent to innovate in the custom data center and PC product sectors.
In August 2025, Softbank invested $2 billion in Intel, acquiring 2% ownership at $23 per share, to support AI and digital transformation initiatives. This follows a $7.86 billion funding boost from the U.S. Department of Commerce aimed at advancing semiconductor manufacturing in various states, including Arizona and Ohio.
Intel aims to use these investments to expand its manufacturing capacity as part of its IDM 2.0 strategy while maintaining operational focus. Currently, Intel’s stock has risen by 39.9% over the past year, and earnings estimates for 2025 have decreased by 46.4% to 15 cents per share.
